December 1, 2013--WCHP Goes Virtual!

WCHP is completely "virtual" as of December 1,
2013. That means that all of our computer files are "in the cloud"
and we can access them at anytime, anywhere (provided WiFi is available
or an iPhone 5 hot spot)! We (and volunteers) moved all of our office
furniture into storage provided gratis by one of our Board members. The
staff (Mary, Judi and Lee) have home offices in which to work when not
meeting with project teams to implement and evaluate community health
programs. A P.O. Box (1432) was opened at the Washington Post Office for
mail. We're keeping our main number, 724-222-6511 for voice mail and continuity,
but we've changed our fax number to 1-877-487-2539.
